Accupro 12184279 Ball End Mill 0.1875 in 2 Flute Altin Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184279 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this single-end tool features a 0.1875 inch (3/16 inch) cutting diameter and a 1 inch length of cut, making it well suited for profiling, contouring, and finishing passes in harder materials. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and tool life at elevated cutting speeds. A 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in demanding materials.

This ball end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines for producing curved surfaces, 3D contours, slots, and blended radii. Its long-length configuration, with a 4 inch overall length and 3/16 inch shank diameter, provides reach into deeper pockets and features. It is primarily installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating extends tool life in high-temperature cutting conditions
• 40-degree right-hand spiral helix for effective chip evacuation
• 0.1875 inch ball nose diameter for accurate radius profiling
• Long-length design with 4 inch OAL provides extended reach into deep features
• Single-end, right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC and manual mill spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end ball nose end mill compatible with milling machines and machining centers accepting a 3/16 inch straight shank toolholder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully and evenly into the collet or toolholder and tighten to the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut, as excessive runout will reduce tool life and surface finish quality.
